They referred to an incident at the event at Windsor Racecourse where a 27-year-old man was shot.

Licensing officer Richard French said: "This leads to concerns around the proposed security arrangements for the event here in Reading as well as concern over the nature of the event and the applicant's ability to run a safe event."

Other concerns raised included the applicant's ability to host an event with up to 9,999 people and whether tents and structures at the event would be safe and put together properly.

The application also received objections from various local groups, including the North Reading Safer Neighbourhood Forum (NRSNF) and Caversham GLOBE.

Tea Party took place at Windsor Racecourse from 2016-2018, with artists including Example, Kurupt FM and Sigma headlining the festival.
